This is a pure strategy proposal, not an execution proposal. This should be made clear. But that is not to say that strategy is not valuable on its own.

Decentralized social blogging solutions are not our competitors. Before we get started we need to identify who the real competitors are. Hive was originally based on code that came from a chain that was designed to support one social function. That was 4 years ago. Now, Hive is the chain to build on due to its data storage ability, social settings, zero fees, OBI, layers, and so on. Our real competitors are other blockchains that offer great building opportunities.

SEO: Do you mean to go through the dapps and offer them SEO insight? If so, some of these dapps have proposals that include budgets which are presumably for this. How can we evaluate the service to each dapp so we can equalize the budgets in an accountable manner? (Meaning, the same service isn't paid for twice). Each dapp should consent likely. It would be good to gauge consent rates early.

Polling: The biggest challenge in getting the sentiments on Hive experiences, communities and the DHF will be the fact that people who are prominent in contributing feedback will keep doing that and everyone else who quietly creates content will not be reached. The majority of all users will need to be polled. This challenge has to be considered as without a high % sample size of active users, there is no point in getting feedback as we all already know what select people who on their own initiative put in feedback will say. The methodology of obtaining feedback in a way that its inclusive of as many active users as possible is required.

Listings should not be a part of any of this discussion. Those are business relationships and they are done a specific way. There is no need to take what can be a good approach to planning and shoot it in the foot with involving listings.
